6 steps
- Home equity = 450000 - 250000 = 200000
- Loan-to-value = 100 x 250000 / 450000 = 55.5556%
- Credit line = 85% x 450000 - 250000 = 132500
- Level payment across 180 months = 483.62
- Repayment-period payment = P i / (1 - (1+i)^-n) on 50000 over 180 months = 483.62
- Total interest = 0 in the draw period + 37050.37 in repayment = 37050.37
